24 CSS Animated Cards
24 hand-coded CSS animated card patterns organised by what triggers the motion, not by card style. Scroll and entrance triggers: staggered grid reveals, @starting-style mount-in, scroll-driven scale and fade on animation-timeline: view(), View Transitions API card-to-detail morphs, blur-to-sharp lazy image loading, and FLIP re-layout when a filter changes. State-change triggers: add-to-cart success morph, like and save particle burst, expand and collapse to intrinsic height with calc-size(), swipe-to-dismiss on Pointer Events, and skeleton-to-loaded crossfade. Data-driven triggers: count-up KPI metrics, SVG sparkline draw-on-enter, and progress ring fill on load. Ambient idle loops: breathing glow, floating drift, animated gradient mesh backgrounds, conic rotating borders, auto-cycling testimonial decks, and live status pulses. Plus four hover patterns where the effect is the topic itself: cursor spotlight, holographic foil glare, corner ribbon slide, and horizontal accordion expand. Every card is scoped under a .ac-NN prefix for no-collision pasting, guards prefers-reduced-motion, animates compositor-only properties, and ports unchanged to React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Next.js and Tailwind.
